(153 g) BEfORE INSTALLINg This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel system installation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA); see NFPA 72. gENERAL DESCRIPTION Model MIX-1251AP intelligent ionization sensor uses a state-of-the-art sensing chamber. These sensors are designed to provide open area protection and are intended for use with compatible control panels only. Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a local, visible sensor indication. Remote LED annunciator capability is also available as an optional accessory (RA400Z/RA100Z). The MIX-1251AP requires compatible addressable communications to function properly. Connect this sensor to listed-compatible control panels only. SPACINg Mircom recommends spacing sensors in compliance with NFPA 72. In low air flow applications with smooth ceilings, space sensors 30 feet apart. For specific information regarding sensor spacing, placement, and special applications, refer to NFPA 72 or the System Smoke Detector Application Guide, available from Mircom. WIRINg gUIDE All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires should be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease system troubleshooting. Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire. Remove power from the communication line before installing sensors. 1. Wire the sensor base (supplied separately) per the wiring diagram, see Figure 1. 2. Set the desired address on the sensor address switches, see Figure 2. 3. Install the sensor into the sensor base. Push the sensor into the base while turning it clockwise to secure it in place. 4. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control unit and activate the communication line. 5. Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual. CAUTION Dust covers provide limited protection against airborne dust particles during shipping. Dust covers must be removed before the sensors can sense smoke. Remove sensors prior to heavy remodeling or construction. fIgURE 1.

Refer to the base manual for details on making use of this capability. TESTINg Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing maintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms. All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Testing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with NFPA 72. Test the sensors as follows: A. functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00) This sensor can be functionally tested with a test magnet. The test magnet electronically simulates smoke in the sensing chamber, testing the sensor electronics and connections to the control panel. 1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown in Figure 3. 2. The sensor should alarm the panel. Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status. Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control panel technical documentation for sensor LED status operation and expected delay to alarm. B. Smoke Entry: Aerosol generator (gemini 501) MC-400-007 1 I56-3312-000R firealarmresources.com The GEMINI model 501 aerosol generator can be used for smoke entry testing. Set the generator to represent 4%/ft to 5%/ft obscuration as described in the GEMINI 501 manual. Using the bowl shaped applicator, apply aerosol until the panel alarms. Additionally, canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) may be used for smoke entry testing of the smoke detector. Tested and approved aerosol smoke product is the Smoke Detector Tester model 25S available from Home Safeguard Industries. When used properly, the canned smoke agent will cause the smoke detector to go into alarm. Refer to the manufacturer's published instructions for proper use of the canned smoke agent. CAUTION Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) formulas will vary by manufacturer. Misuse or overuse of these products may have long term adverse effects on the smoke detector. Consult the canned smoke agent manufacturer's published instructions for any further warnings or caution statements. A sensor that fails any of these tests should be cleaned as described under CLEANING, and retested. If the sensor fails after cleaning, it must be replaced. When testing is complete, restore the system to the normal operation and notify the proper authorities that the system is back in operation. fIgURE 3. TEST MAgNET POSITIONINg: MAGNET TEST MARKER TEST MAGNET POSITION CLEANINg Before cleaning, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms. 1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system. 2. Remove the sensor cover. Press firmly on each of the four removal tabs that hold the cover in place. 3. Vacuum the outside of the screen carefully. If further cleaning is required, continue with Step 4, otherwise skip to Step 5. 4. Use clean, compressed air to remove dust and debris from the sensing chamber. 5. Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently pushing it until it locks into place. 6. Reinstall the detector. 7. Test the detector as described in TESTING. 8. Reconnect disabled circuits. 9. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line. SPECIAL NOTE REgARDINg SMOkE DETECTOR gUARDS Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose. fIgURE 4: SENSOR COVER LED STATUS INDICATORS MAGNET TEST MARKER TEST MAGNET POSITION COVER REMOVAL TABS C0145-00 SENSING CHAMBER AND SCREEN C0150-00 Please refer to insert for the Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems fCC STATEMENT This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
